Asian Meatballs

Asian Meatballs – These Asian meatballs are a fresh and different take on the classic meatball. They can be served as an appetizer with a sweet and spicy pepper dipping sauce, or on a bed of sticky white rice as a main course. They’re juicy and tender and have just the right amount of sweet and spice. Chinese take out inspiration done right at home.

One of my favorite things about meatballs is the ability to make them in advance of an event and freeze them. When I’m ready to entertain, I can then toss them into the slow cooker, top with sauce and gently simmer. Serving them in this way takes the fuss out of entertaining and allows me to enjoy my guests company, too.
